SUMMERLEIGH MANOR; or, Brothers and Sisters. A Tale. Fcp. 8vo. 4s.

"It has been the object of the author of this very well-written tale, to show the gradual development of character in the children of a large family, and how the small incidents in the small world of childhood, the opportunities of good there offered, and the temptations to evil, have an influence, not only on the passing hour, but on the far off future: and in the pursuit of this object he has been very successful. The style is easy and unaffected, and the portraiture good, and the instruction to be gathered from it of a high order. It eminently deserves to be successful."-Oxford Herald.

"Done extremely well, and we are confident will please all readers whom literary pedantry has not rendered indifferent to the charms of simplicity and natural elegance.

SYLVESTER ENDERBY, THE POET.

By Louis Sand,

Author of "The Voices of Christmas." 2s. 6d.

TALES FOR ME TO READ TO MYSELF. With Twelve Engravings drawn by Macquoid. 16mo. 2s. 6d.

"These stories are intended to be put into the hands of little children, who, though only able to master very easy words, may yet be wishing to read to themselves. They were written to supply the want which is sometimes felt, of a book sufficiently easy for this purpose, and yet more entertaining than the short sentences in spelling books."-Preface.

The spirit and teaching of the book are unexceptionable, and it is a great satisfaction to be able to set before young readers a book so excellent in temper and of such striking ability.”—Guardian.

"Nothing can be finer than the heroine; an upright, truthful character, wanting in tact, and not at first free from grave faults, yet full of deep feeling and true religion; strongly consistent, winning her way and inspiring hearty affection by her goodness, real kindness, and entire honesty."-Christian Remembrancer.
